【篇三：2016年6月大学英语四级第三套真题及答案】


class=txt>partiii reading comprehension

section a

directions:in this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.
you are required to select one word for each blank from a list
of choices given in a word bank following the passage. read
the passage through carefully before making your choices.
each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. please mark

the corresponding letter for each item on answer sheet 2 with a
single line through the centre. you may not use any of the
words in the bank more than once.

physical activity does the body good, and there?s growing
evidence that it helps the brain too. researchers in the
netherlands report that children who get more exercise,
whether at school or on their own, 26 to have higher gpas and
better scores on standardized tests. in a 27 of 14 studies that
looked at physical activity and academic, investigators found
that the more children moved, the better their grades were in
school, in the basic subjects of math, english and reading.

the data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether
physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle
to 30 on smaller budgets. the arguments against physical
education have included concerns that gym time may be
taking away from study time. with standardized test scores in
the u.s. in recent years, some administrators believe students
need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the
playground. but as these findings show, exercise and
academics may not be exclusive. physical activity can
improve blood to the brain, fueling memory, attention and
creativity, which are 34 to learning. and exercise releases
hormones that can improve and relieve stress, which can also
help learning. so while it may seem as if kids are just
exercising their bodies when they?re running around, they
may actually be exercising their brains as well.

section b

directions: in this section, you are going to read a passage
with ten statements attached to it. each statement contains
information given in one of the paragraphs. identify the
paragraph from which the information is derived. you may
choose a paragraph more than once. each paragraph ismarked
with a letter. answer the questions by marking the
corresponding letter on answer sheet 2.

finding the right home—and contentment, too

[a] when your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of
long-term care facility—a moment few parents or children
approach without fear—what you would like is to have
everything made clear.

[b] does assisted living really mark a great improvement over
a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better
interior designers? are nursing homes as bad as people fear,
or is that an

out- moded stereotype（固定看法)? can doing one?s homework
really steer families to the best places? it is genuinely hard to
know.

[c] i am about to make things more complicated by suggesting
that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter
less than we have assumed. and that the characteristics adult
children look for when they begin the search are not
necessarily the things that make a difference to the people
who are going to move in. i am not talking about the quality of
care, let me hastily add. nobody flourishes in a gloomy
environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record.
but an accumulating body of research indicates that some
distinctions between one type of elder care and another have
little real bearing on how well residents do.

[d] the most recent of these studies, published in the journal
of applied gerontology, surveyed 150 connecticut residents of
assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care
homes（known in some states as board and care homes or
adult care homes). researchers from the university of
connecticut health center asked the residents a large number
of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being
and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the
facilities.

[e] “we thought we would see differences based on the
housing types,” said the lead author of the study, julie robison,
an associate professor of medicine at the university. a
reasonable assumption—don?t families struggle to avoid
nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they can?t?

[f] in the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the
most positive picture. they were less likely to report
symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for
instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. they scored
higher on social interaction.

[g] but when the researchers plugged in a number of other
variables, such differences disappeared. it is not the housing
type, they found, that creates differences in residents?

responses. “it is the characteristics of the specific
environment they are in, combined with their own personal
characteristics—how healthy they feel they are, their age and
marital status,” dr. robison explained. whether residents felt
involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived
there also proved significant.

[h] an elderly person who describes herself as in poor health,
therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living（even
if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. a person
who had input into where he would move and has had time to
adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small
residential care home, other factors being equal. it is an
interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of
place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “you
can?t just say, ?let?s put this person in a residential care
home instead of a nursing home—she will be much better
off,?” dr. robison said. what matters, she added, “is a
combination of what people bring in with them, and what they
find there.”

[i] such findings, which run counter to common sense, have
surfaced before. in a multi-state study of assisted living, for
instance, university of north carolina researchers found that a
host of variables—the facility?s type, size or age；whether a
chain owned it；how attractive the neighborhood was—had
no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms
of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. what
mattered most was the residents? physical health and mental
status. what people were like when they came in had greater
consequence than what happened once they were there.

[j] as i was considering all this, a press release from a
respected research firm crossed my desk,

announcing that the five-star rating system that medicare
developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home
quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents
or their family members are. as a matter of fact, consumers
expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the
lowest rated, than with the five-star ones.（more on this study
and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)

[k] before we collectively tear our hair out—how are we
supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?—
here is a thought from dr. philip sloane, a geriatrician（老年病
学专家)at the university of north carolina:“in a way, that could
be liberating for families.”

[l] of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities,
talk to the administrators and residents and other families,
and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. but perhaps
they don?t have to turn themselves into private investigators
or congressional subcommittees. “families can look a bit
more for where the residents are going to be happy,” dr.
sloane said. and involving the future resident in the process
can be very important.

[m] we all have our own ideas about what would bring our
parents happiness. they have their ideas, too. a friend recently
took her mother to visit an expensive assisted livingnursing
home near my town. i have seen this place—it is elegant,
inside and out. but nobody greeted the daughter and mother
when they arrived, though the visit had been planned；nobody
introduced them to the other residents. when they had lunch in
the dining room, they sat alone at a table.

[n] the daughter feared her mother would be ignored there,
and so she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility.
based on what is emerging from some of this research, that
might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.

36. many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place
other than a nursing home for their parents.

it helps for children to investigate care facilities,
involving their parents in the decision- making process may
prove very important.

is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a
nursing home.

a resident feels depends on an interaction between
themselves and the care facility they live in.

author thinks her friend made a rational decision in
choosing a more hospitable place over an apparently elegant
assisted living home.

system medicare developed to rate nursing home
quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place.

first the researchers of the most recent study found
residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on
social interaction.

kind of care facility old people live in may be less
important than we think.

findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier
multi-state study of assisted living.

45.a resident?s satisfaction with a care facility has much to do
with whether they had participated in the decision to move in
and how long they had stayed there.

section c

directions:there are 2 passages in this section. each passage
is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. for
each of them there are four choices marked a), b), c) and
d).you should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on answer sheet 2 with a single line
through the centre.

passage one

questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

as artificial intelligence(ai) becomes increasingly
sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could
become a threat. this danger can be avoided, according to
computer science professor stuart russell, if we figure out how
to turn human values into a programmable code.

russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks,
it?s necessary to translate our morals into ai language.

for example, if a robot does chores around the house, you
wouldn?t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner
for the hungry children. “you would want that robot preloaded
with a good set of values,” said russell.

some robots are already programmed with basic human
values. for example, mobile robots have been programmed to
keep a comfortable distance from humans. obviously there are
cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person
and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn?t
think that?s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person
would do.

it will be possible to create more sophisticated moral
machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as
clear rules.

robots could also learn values fromdrawing patterns from
large sets ofdata on human

behavior. they are dangerous only if programmers are
careless.

the biggest concern with robots going against human values
is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they?ve
produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌).

one simple check would be to program a robot to check the
correct course of action with a human when presented with an
unusual situation.

if the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the
microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps（嘟
嘟声), and ask for directions from a human. if we humans
aren?t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody
else.

the most difficult step in programming values will be deciding
exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of
ethical rules. but if we come up with an answer, robots could
be good for humanity.

does the author say about the threat of robots?

a)it may constitute a challenge to computer programmers.

b)it accompanies all machinery involving high technology.

c)it can be avoided if human values are translated into their
language.

d)it has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more
sophisticated.

would we think of a person who invades our personal
space according to the author?

a)they are aggressive.b)they are outgoing.

c)they are ignorant.d)they are ill-bred.

do robots learn human values?

a)by interacting with humans in everyday life situations.

b)by following the daily routines of civilized human beings.

c)by picking up patterns from massive data on human
behavior.

d)by imitating the behavior of property brought-up human
beings.

will a well-programmed robot do when facing an
unusual situation?

a)keep a distance from possible dangers.b)stop to seek advice
from a human being.

c)trigger its built-in alarm system at once.d)do sufficient
testing before taking action.

is most difficult to do when we turn human values into
a programmable code?

a)determine what is moral and ethical.b)design some large-
scale experiments.

c)set rules for man-machine interaction.d)develop a more
sophisticated program.

passage two

questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

why do some people live to be older than others? you know
the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging
in regular exercise, etc. but what effect does your personality
have on your longevity（长寿）?do some kinds of
personalities lead to longer lives? a new study in the journal of
the american geriatrics society looked at this question by
examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of
people who had lived to be at least 100.

the study shows that those living the longest are more
outgoing, more active and less neurotic （神经质的) than other
people. long-living women are also more likely to be
sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life
span. these findings are in agreement with what you would
expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make
friends and help others can gather enough resources to make
it through tough times.

interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might
consider advantageous had no impact on whether study
participants were likely to live longer. those who were more
self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be
very old. also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to
long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old
people who are fixed in their ways.

whether you can successfully change your personality as an
adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.
but the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you
should strive to be as outgoing as possible.

unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother?s
personality may also help determine your longevity. that study
looked at nearly 28,000 norwegian mothers and found that
those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry
were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. patterns of
childhood eating can be hard to break when we?re adults,
which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying
younger.

personality isn?t destiny（命运), and everyone knows that
individuals can learn to change. but both studies show that
long life isn?t just a matter of your physical health but of your
mental health.

a)to see whether people?s personality affects their life span

b)to find out if one?s lifestyle has any effect on their health

c)to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life

d)to examine all the factors contributing to longevity

52. what does the author imply about outgoing and
sympathetic people?

a)they have a good understanding of evolution.

b)they are better at negotiating an agreement.

c)they generally appear more resourceful.

d)they are more likely to get over hardship.

53. what finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our
expectation?

a)easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.

b)personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually
vary with times.

c)such personality characteristics as self- discipline have no
effect on longevity.
